The philosophical and linguistic essence of the concept of quality

The study interprets both the philosophical and linguistic essence of the concept of quality . The article ­analyzes the ideas of various philosophers and linguists about quality . ­Quality is multifaceted as a universal category. Like other universal concepts, the multifacetedness and polysyntheticity of the concept of quality ­necessitate its perception as a multidisciplinary term. The essence of the semantic field of quality is the set of all linguistic units that express quality in human thought ­. In short, quality can be considered one of the basic concepts that play a mediating role in the understanding of the world in the relationship between man and nature, man and the cosmic world. Historically, quality arose primarily as a distinguishing feature. That is, its essence, semantic structure, is based on comparison and differentiation. The uniqueness of the semantic field of quality is that in linguistics it is approached as both a grammatical and semantic category. Both categories are at the center of the semantic field of quality. The horizontal and vertical semantic ­structure of the qualitative semantic field proves that each language has a high pragmatic-semiotic and functional potential. The qualitative semantic field has rich linguistic means of expression in each language. This semantic field, with its intra-structural elements, forms a complete system in the grammatical structure and lexical-semantic system of the language. Linguistic study of the qualitative semantic field once again makes the application of the functional-semantic method relevant. The qualitative semantic field, like other universal semantic fields, has its own core and peripheries, vertical and horizontal structure.
